HANNABELLE'S BUTTERFLIES
Hannabelle is a young girl with a terrific musical talent, and an equally terrific fear of sharing it in public. Is it possible that she is not the only one with these unwelcome butterflies? Can she find a way to perform in spite of the nerves, and maybe even make those butterflies dance?
Hannabelle's Butterflies by Charlene A. Ryan is a picture book designed for children ages 4-9.
Find it at your local bookstore, library, or on Amazon.
Praise for Hannabelle's Butterflies:
"I had ordered your book from Amazon prime and it arrived yesterday. I love it!! Great story, fun and diverse characters, addresses anxiety empathetically and just enough so kids could relate but without making it a big enough deal to create anxiety in them, and provides so many strategies to overcome it!! Plus, it's lovely... I'm a fan, and can't wait for the next two!"
-Dr. Wendy Sims, Curators' Distinguished Teaching Professor, Music Education, University of Missouri
THE MILK CRATE CLUB
